Here are the details of the study:
Tango Gameworks is a video game development studio based in Tokyo, Japan. It was founded by Shinji Mikami, a video game industry veteran known for creating the “Resident Evil” horror video game series. Tango Gameworks has specialized in creating immersive gaming experiences, especially in the horror genre.
The studio is known for its games’ quality and focus on narrative. Its first major title was “The Evil Within” (“Psycho Break” in Japan), released in 2014. This psychological horror game has been praised for its exciting atmosphere, level design and disturbing narrative. A sequel, “The Evil Within 2” was released in 2017, continuing the story of the original game.
For now the fate of the franchise is uncertain, starting with the fact that it is no longer known if it will ever be released. Nintendo switch or cancelled.
Through: the edge
Author’s Note: It’s a little strange to hear those words when they did the complete opposite, shutting down the studio that produced mid-sized projects that had a high level of quality. However, I hope the franchise is saved or they sell it to someone interested in pursuing it.
